DeconRCM: A decision support system tool for renovation and demolition waste management

The absence of a certified network for the collection and processing of the materials contained in generated Renovation and Demolition (R&D) waste is a main shortcoming of R&D waste management in Greece. Until recently, less than 5% of all R&D waste generated in Greece was reused or recycled, while the rest was landfilled or disposed in uncontrolled, open dumps. In order to increase the community’s awareness in environmental issues a research team has been formed and qualified for the funding of the project 'Information System for Demolition Waste Management†(DEWAM project).

This project aims at providing the appropriate information in the field of R&D waste management for the minimization of the building materials that are discarded while increasing their reuse and recycling rates. Within the DEWAM project bounds, a web-based Decision Support System (DSS) tool has been developed for the optimisation of the R&D waste management in the Region of Central Macedonia (DeconRCM). The DSS aims to provide an accurate estimation of the generated quantities of 24 different waste streams produced by two main processes (demolition and renovation) of four building types (single family residential, multi family residential, office and industrial), based on the typical construction practice in Greece. Furthermore, DeconRCM provides the user with the optimal management of each generated R&D waste stream regarding both economic and environmental criteria. This is materialised with the utilisation of linear mathematical programming, while incorporating in a Google map all end-of-life processing facilities (including landfills) for the different waste streams located within the region of Central Macedonia.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
